Koohii stories:

1) [guidedog] 14-7-2007(171): If you mis-guess the cheese you'll grate your fingers on the cheese-grater (happens to me all the time).

2) [Katsuo] 8-3-2008(72): Ouch! Guess how many fingers I just grated in the grater? (Edit: OR: Ouch! Guess what I just grated in the grater? – my finger!).

3) [Raichu] 9-1-2006(52): When you grate something you have to guess where your fingers are so you don't hurt yourself.

4) [desmidus] 16-2-2008(50): It was a cruel form of torture. He would grate cheese and by the smell make me guess what sort of cheese it was. If my guess was wrong, he would grate one of my fingers. Which is how I know how pretty much every cheese smells now, although I don't have many working fingers left.

5) [n1williams] 26-2-2009(35): The meaning of this kanji is more like "rub, scour, scratch, or scrape." Story: Frustratedly trying to solve a math equation on the classroom chalkboard, the student made a sound that would really GRATE on everyone's nerves. She would GRATE her FINGERnails on the chalkboard as she GUESSED at the next step in solving the equation.
